Climate Democracy
The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change came up with the world’s first idea for government control of the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere. Most scientists don’t believe in it - but that doesn’t matter. The presidential candidates from the two major parties in the US seem united in their quest to increase the role [...]

Solution Found to Global Warming
Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reports that parks in cities are up to 12 degrees centigrade cooler than commercial centers. A ten percent increase in green areas reduces the average city temperature by about 4 degrees; offsetting the UN climate committee’s extreme predictions of temperature increases over the next century.
Many scientists have criticized the UN predictions for [...]

Ireland Saves Europe Another Day
After the proposed EU Constitution was soundly defeated by the people of Europe in 2005, promoters repackaged it as the Lisbon Treaty. This extraordinary anti-democratic move was intended to secure passage without public referenda. The Irish Constitution however, provided requirements that led to a referendum on the renamed constitution anyway. Not surprisingly, the proposed constitution [...]

Global Warming: Has Anyone Noticed that it’s Over?
The end of civilization as we know it, is not at hand. Dire warnings on climate change issued by Al Gore, based on an extreme set of computer predictions, are a dead issue. So is the credibility of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); the UN committee that tried to bring credibility to the [...]

IPCC Challenged to Recant Global Warming Position
A group of scientists have challenged the IPCC to admit that there is no evidence that human activity drives climate change. Specifically, they sent a letter this month to the Chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change asking those associated with the panel to:
retract support from the current IPCC position and admit that [...]

Al Gore to Launch New Propaganda Campaign
Be forewarned; Al Gore hasn’t given up. He’s going after public “consensus” on global warming before the public gets a strong enough whiff of the strengthening scientific and economic evidence against him.
It has been reported that his far-left political (and environmental business PR) organization, the “Alliance for Climate Protection”, will launch an ad campaign aimed [...]

Sweden: The Land of Robots
When you ask a man on the street where revolutionary advanced robots are being developed, he is likely to name Japan and the United States. Japan is well known for such amazing mechanical creations as ASIMO and HRP, as well as robots that dance, engage in martial arts, transform, and play musical instruments. In the [...]

Clinton Less Capable, Less Electable
An average of national polls currently shows Hillary Clinton slightly behind John McCain (show data) and Barack Obama slightly ahead (show data). But that isn’t the whole story on the Obama electability advantage. Right leaning voters are far less motivated than the left. (related article) Hillary Clinton would change that.
A newly released DVD, “Hillary - [...]

Looks Bad for Republicans
I have successfully predicted the outcome of every presidential election since 1960. My official predictions have never been made during the primaries and I am not thinking about changing that now. But I have to say that it does not look good for Republicans.
I agree with a point made by David Frum in his book [...]

Three Election Pledges
In an article entitled, Illiberal Statism, Mike S. Adams urges us to stop using the term “liberal” inappropriately. I agree. I’ve written too many articles explaining to Europeans that we don’t really mean it when we say it. It would make a lot more sense if we would start saying what we actually mean. My [...]

American Political Primer for Europeans
Americans are once again preparing for the heart-wrenching drama of a presidential election. By the middle of 2008, we expect the nation to be neatly divided between fear and loathing of the left and fear and loathing of the right. The first thing Europeans need to know is that for the price of a movie [...]

Al Gore Stars in Death of the Documentary
Mature film aficionados anticipated a new era; restoring all the old thrills and chills dampened by so many years and so many fireballs. The documentary approach with its long and proven history was seen anew as a technique filled with unexplored potential. That is – until Al Gore came along.
Many will point to the 1999 [...]

Republicans and Democrats Should Start “Third Parties”
In 2004, around 40 percent of those who voted for Kerry-Edwards admitted little to no interest in a Kerry presidency. Kerry was not offering voters choice on important policy issues nor did his candidacy stimulate the kind of broad, probing public discussion of policy that characterizes real democratic process. The core of the Kerry campaign [...]

The Challenge Ahead for Family Rights Activism
The Fathers’ Rights Movement is winning. Fathers’ rights activists may disagree. Corrupt family laws have not yet been overturned. Too many corrupt politicians and judges are still in business; too few have been dragged off to jail where they belong. The greatest swindle of the 20th and now 21st centuries – the federal child support [...]

Dobson is Wrong - Maybe
Soon after my article “Dobson is Right” was published, I became aware that the founder and chairman of Focus on the Family is, “as an individual,” breaking ranks with a resolution he is involved with as a leader. There can be no mistake that “more than 50 pro-family leaders” met in Salt Lake City and [...]

Controversy erupted after more than 50 pro-family leaders met in Salt Lake City on September 30th and resolved almost unanimously to support “third-party” candidates if the convictions of neither Republicans nor Democrats fell in line with theirs. To some, this stance seemed like political heresy and the event was quickly condemned. The worst condemnations came [...]

Phases of the fathers’ rights movement
In order to better see where the fathers’ rights movement should go, it needs to think about where it has been and where it is now. For this reason, I present my own initial draft outline of the major phases of the fathers’ rights movement.
Phase 0: Prior to 1990, few men saw reason for [...]

America the Nonpartisan I
Some conservative groups are openly suggesting abandonment of the Republican Party in 2008 and are looking for “third party” candidates who better represent their views. The exodus from the Democratic Party continues to pick up momentum with their traditional voters looking for a new home. Perhaps it is time for a more fundamental look at [...]

Is Hillary Clinton Abusing YouTube?
One of the greatest offenses a political candidate can perpetrate is abuse of the internet. To a majority of younger voters and an ever-growing number from all age categories, the internet is the counter-weight to managed news, glossy retouched images, and the ever more polished brainwashing techniques that come with every election cycle; a last [...]

Democrats, Rush Limbaugh, and the Zombies
Like others, I have noticed the determination behind the Democrats’ attack on Rush Limbaugh. Those of you who have looked into the charge may reasonably feel that it is much ado about nothing. You may wonder at the perseverance of a twisted argument so easily exposed by simply checking the facts. If you have followed [...]
